Its a 5.25" form factor RAID unit. They've probably got a DPT style case and a Mylex style RAID controller in one of the 2 5.25" bays. > Most fascinating. Wonder if it really is the same basic box..

Look for hunter.premier.net to move to #3, howland.erols.net to take down mci, and news.erols.net to take #2 or #4 or something.
